    6 total cookies ... 1 choc chip, 3 almond, 2 butter

    probability of picking 1 almond on first pick : 3/6 or 1/2

    without replacement

    probability of drawing another almond : 2/5

    Probability of drawing 1 almond followed by another (without replacement) is:

    3/6 * 2/5 = 6/30 = 1/5
